Former Greek President and Minister of Foreign Affairs Karolos Papoulias passed away. He was an honorable man and a Greek nationalist who as Foreign Minister under the late Andreas Papandreou took very hard line positions on Cyprus and Macedonia. In 2004, the treacherous Prime Minister Costas Simitis, Foreign Minister George Papandreou, Constantinos Mitsotakis, and Dora Bakoyannis plotted against Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos.
Papadopoulos refused to accept a United Nations plan for Cyprus that would have solidified the Turkish invasions and occupation. For this reason, the above mentioned buffoons sought to undermine the President of Cyprus. President Papoulias refused to support them and maintained his support for a free Cyprus.
May his memory be eternal!
